In this episode, we're joined by Eden Collinsworth, bestselling author and cultural commentator, to discuss her latest book The Improbable Victoria Woodhull: Suffrage, Free Love, and the First Woman to Run for President. Victoria Woodhull was one of the most audacious and unconventional women of the 19th century: a suffragist, stockbroker, publisher, spiritualist, and in 1872, the first woman to run for president—decades before American women could vote. Her advocacy for “free love” shocked Victorian sensibilities, while her business dealings and political ambitions made her both admired and reviled. Eden takes us through Woodhull's improbable rise, her controversies, her clashes with the press and fellow suffragists, and her lasting—if complicated—impact on American history.

I also cover what her experience was, compared to other prisoners, and carry her story all the way through to her pardon by Governor Treadway Rich in 1896.I also cover the research I conducted on where her three murdered children are buried, and what I was able to uncover on the lives of her surviving children.I further discuss my two years of research on this story, which led to it being a major story in the book Victorian Southwest Michigan True Crime, which was published in 2024.For more information on Michael Delaware, visit:https://michaeldelaware.com

In this 6th installment of the God is Red series, Taylor Keen (Omaha / Cherokee) takes us deep into the womb of Earth Mother to explore the ancient and living stories preserved in Picture Cave, a sacred site containing Siouan rock art dating back 1,000 years. The first half of the episode is a passionate storytelling that bridges millennia, where Taylor unveils the cosmology of his ancestors through vivid tales of First Man, First Woman, Morning Star, and the Thunder Twins.As Taylor explains, these aren't distant myths but encoded memories that continue to resonate in the blood and spirit of indigenous peoples today. The conversation then unfurls into why ancient peoples sought to document oral traditions in rock...Whether you're indigenous to the Land below your feet or not, these ancient stories offer profound perspective on what it means to live in right relationship with land, community, and Spirit. They remind us that mythology isn't just about preserving the past—it's about creating possibilities for a more beautiful future.Learn more about Taylor's work HERE.Learn more about Daniel's work HERE.

Gertrude Ederle smashed records on 6th August, 1926, becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel - and in faster time than any man before her.  Battling six-foot waves and jellyfish swarms, the American teen zig-zagged the current for over 14 hours from France to England. Sponsored by the New York Daily News, Ederle had a nation in thrall, who, thanks to newfangled wireless radio updates, were able to follow her progress live like it was the Super Bowl.  When she stepped onto the beach in Dover, journalists literally swam out to meet her. Back home, 2 million people packed the streets of NYC for her ticker-tape parade — the first ever for a woman. President Calvin Coolidge dubbed her “America's Best Girl.” In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover the more dispiriting final chapters of Ederle's life; explain how she was able to drink soup whilst she was swimming; and interrogate whether she really was the ‘flapper' the 1920s press ghostwriters made her out to be…  Further Reading: • ‘Young Woman and The Sea: The Real History of Gertrude Ederle's Swim' (HistoryExtra, 2024): https://www.historyextra.com/period/20th-century/gertrude-ederle-first-woman-swim-swam-english-channel-matthew-webb-american/ • ‘This Day In Sports: Gertrude Ederle Swims the Channel' (The New York Times, 2004): https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/packages/html/sports/year_in_sports/08.06.html?scp=1&sq=English%20Bay&st=cse • ‘Young Woman and the Sea | Official Trailer' (Disney, 2024): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tNvrYzPUrk Love the show?

Throughout the shadow-haunted nights of human history, one figure has embodied our deepest fears about feminine power, maternal bonds, and the price of defying divine authority. She appears in nurseries when the moon is dark, singing lullabies in languages older than civilization, offering desperate mothers choices that will haunt them forever—because Lilith, the first woman, the first wife, the first to say "no," has never forgiven humanity for the Paradise she was denied, and she collects her debt one child at a time.

She wasn't just the first woman to open a brokerage firm on Wall Street or run for U.S. president, she was the first to publicly connect money with female empowerment on a national stage. Victoria didn't just want wealth. She wanted control over how it was used, who got access to it, and how it could transform a woman's life. This story? It's not just about a woman in history. It's a masterclass in ownership, resilience, and radical reinvention. So if you've ever been told to “stay in your place” or “wait your turn”, this one's for you. Let's begin.   00:00 – Why 60% of women stay stuck—and how money can set them free 01:10 – Victoria's origin story: Poverty, survival, and an early hunger for power 02:40 – Breaking barriers: Launching the first woman-owned Wall Street brokerage in 1870 03:30 – Turning profits into purpose: Launching a radical women-led newspaper 04:15 – Scandal, truth-telling, and the cost of courage: Arrested on Election Day 05:20 – Reinvention abroad: Leaving America and reclaiming her power in England 06:10 – 3 key takeaways: Allies, platforms, and why reinvention is a wealth strategy

https://megashia.comBioBorn in Kansas City and raised in Los Angeles, Megashia Jackson is a comedian, musician, model, motivational speaker and mother of three who has overcome a multitude of challenges to become the woman she is today.At the tender age of four, a babysitter poured hot water on her as punishment for being too noisy. She received second and third degree burns over fifty percent of her body, was taken away from her mother, hospitalized and in recovery for over a year. When she was finally well enough to go to school, she was mercilessly teased about her burn scars. But she had two secret weapons: a mind of steel and laughter. After learning “fire breathing” techniques as a way to deal with her physical pain, Megashia wasn't affected by the hurtful taunts of her classmates. And when she realized that laughter was the best way to fight her bullies, she became the class clown and started to develop her gift for comedy.Megashia's grandmother owned a record store, and she was exposed to many genres of music there. She soon began to pursue her own musical interests, playing brass instruments in several school bands before settling on her true love – percussion. A career in music was put on hold when she had children and needed to do something more practical.Coming from a long line of beauticians, Megashia decided to go to cosmetology school. It turns out she also had a talent for making her clients look and feel beautiful, opening a thriving hair salon and creating a line of hair care products.Today Megashia's biggest goal is to inspire other women. She completed the leadership program at A New Way of Life, an organization helping formerly incarcerated women reconnect with their purpose. She is an ordained minister specializing in the Ministry of Music, using traditional African Drumming and healing principles to uplift and connect with women who are going through their own challenges. She composed and recorded jazz inspired songs for the First Woman's Church's Music Ministry and drummed for campaigns supporting immigrants' rights and prison reform. She is also an active participant in Toastmasters International, winning awards for her use of humor in her speeches. She enjoys speaking to young women about self-care and increasing self-esteem.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

A terrifying vision, a terrifying UFO encounter, and evidence of the encounter buried in his arm – if true, Tim Cullen's story could change everything we think we know about extraterrestrials.IN THIS EPISODE: Tim Cullen's life changed forever after a chilling dream in 1978. It wasn't long after that he had bizarre encounters with UFOs, was abducted by aliens, and found a strange piece of metal embedded in his arm. Were these encounters real? If so, what secrets lie within the alien implant removed from his body? (The Alien Abduction of Tim Cullen) *** The life of Martha Place took a dark turn in 1899. Convicted of a brutal murder, Martha faced a horrifying punishment… she was about to become the first woman to be executed by the electric chair. (The First Woman in the Electric Chair) *** We'll look at a double-murder case where real crime collides with reality TV, resulting in real-life horror. (The Wife-Swap Murders) *** Steve's childhood was marked by inexplicable and spine-chilling encounters. Eerie breathing sounds, a manifestation at his bedside, being pushed down the stairs… all without a rational explanation. Even moving away wouldn't bring his paranormal tormenting to an end. (The Entity That Follows) *** The urban legend of "The Licked Hand” is a chilling tale that has been whispered around campfires and shared at sleepovers for generations, tapping into our deepest fears of invasion and vulnerability. But this isn't just any ghost story; it's a timeless warning about the dangers lurking in the darkness, waiting to infiltrate our homes and lives… and it even has a bit of truth to it.

Towana Looney became the first living person in the world to get a kidney from a new kind of genetically modified pig last month. Health correspondent Rob Stein got exclusive access to be in the operating room.Towana is a 53-year-old grandmother from Gadsden, Ala. She's been on dialysis for four hours a day, three days a week since 2016. Her immune system would reject a human kidney. So the Food and Drug Administration made an exception to its usual clinical study requirements to allow Looney this new kind of pig kidney. But the procedure is controversial.
